A frightening incident involving the Samsung Galaxy Ring has surfaced online. YouTuber and tech influencer Daniel Rotar shared his experience of the smart ring’s battery swelling, which left him hospitalised. Here’s our report.

Samsung Galaxy Ring Gets Stuck on Finger

Rotar @ZONEofTECH posted about the ordeal on X (formerly Twitter), explaining that the battery began swelling just before he was about to board a flight. The swelling caused the ring to get stuck on his finger, resulting in severe discomfort. Sharing pictures of the bloated Galaxy Ring, he wrote, “I cannot take it off, and this thing hurts.”

Due to the emergency, Rotar was denied boarding and sent to the hospital, where the ring was eventually removed with the help of ice and “medical lubricant.” He mentioned that attempting to use water and soap only made the situation worse as the swelling grew more severe. Once removed, the inside of the ring appeared distorted and even started separating from the case, a detail that raised further safety concerns.

Summing up his experience, Rotar remarked, “Won’t be wearing a smart ring ever again.”

Possible Causes Behind the Battery Swelling

In replies to users on X, Rotar speculated that Hawaii’s hot climate, exposure to saltwater, multiple flights, or a faulty battery could have triggered the expansion. He also noted that his Galaxy Ring had started showing battery drain issues just before the incident, suggesting the malfunctioning battery was likely the cause.

Interestingly, this is not the first reported case. Another user had earlier shared a similar Galaxy Ring swelling issue on social media, where the device was less than a month old. That case also showed the same pressure build-up pattern inside the ring, different from the “pillow” style expansion seen in most smartphone batteries.

Rotar mentioned that he had been using his Galaxy Ring since January 2025, making this failure particularly alarming for a relatively new device.

Samsung Responds

When contacted by 9to5Google, Samsung reportedly said, “The safety of our customers is a top priority and we are in direct contact with this user to learn more about their concerns. While experiences like this are extremely rare, there are a few ways to attempt removing a stuck ring, including soap and water – or submerging your hand in cold water. If these methods do not work, additional information is provided on our Samsung Support page.”

The company has already reached out to Rotar directly through social media.

Why is it concerning?

While all electronic devices with batteries carry some risk of swelling, the fact that the Galaxy Ring is worn tightly around the finger makes such incidents particularly dangerous. As Rotar’s experience shows, a malfunction in this wearable could quickly escalate into a medical emergency.

The Samsung Galaxy Ring was first launched in October 2024 in India as a smart health monitoring accessory. It gained early popularity, but incidents like this raise questions about long-term safety and reliability in daily use.

FAQs

Q1. What happened with the Galaxy Ring that caused a safety scare?

Answer. Tech influencer Daniel Rotar experienced a swollen Galaxy Ring battery that got stuck on his finger, causing pain and requiring hospital removal with medical aid.

Q2. What might have caused the Galaxy Ring battery to swell?

Answer. Rotar speculated that heat, saltwater exposure, multiple flights, or a faulty battery could have triggered the swelling. He also noticed battery drain before the incident.

Q3. How did Samsung respond to the Galaxy Ring incident?

Answer. Samsung stated that customer safety is a top priority and confirmed they are in direct contact with Rotar. They also shared ring removal tips via their support page.

OnePlus has officially confirmed that the OnePlus 15 will launch globally soon, following its scheduled debut in China this October. Alongside, the company will also introduce the OnePlus Ace 6, a sub-flagship device powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset. Here’s more on the upcoming phone and its global debut.

OnePlus 15 – Sand Storm Edition For the International Market

OnePlus’ global division has revealed that the OnePlus 15 will be available in a special “Sand Storm” colour variant, inspired by desert landscapes. This edition uses aerospace-grade Micro-Arc Oxidation technology, a high-voltage plasma process that forms a ceramic layer on the mid-frame and camera module.

According to OnePlus, this ceramic coating is 3.4 times stronger than aluminium and 1.3 times tougher than titanium, while being more environmentally friendly compared to traditional manufacturing.

The announcement comes amid durability concerns with other premium devices. Apple, for instance, has faced criticism over visible wear around the camera area on some early iPhone 17 Pro units, an issue OnePlus clearly aims to avoid with its tougher material approach.

The Sand Storm edition also introduces a feather-light fibreglass back, combining the cool texture of ceramic with a smooth grip for improved comfort. The goal is to offer durability without compromising on design refinement.

OnePlus 15 – Performance and Hardware

Under the hood, the OnePlus 15 will be powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 SoC, making it one of the first global smartphones to feature the chip. The device will also come with OnePlus’ upgraded cooling system, designed to maintain consistent performance during demanding gaming or multitasking sessions.

OnePlus 15 – Camera Samples and Rumoured Setup

Meanwhile, OnePlus’ China team has shared the first official camera samples of the OnePlus 15.

While the company has not yet disclosed the complete specifications, reports suggest the phone will include a 50MP main sensor with OIS, an ultra-wide lens, and a 50MP Samsung JN5 periscope telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom.

The system will be enhanced by OnePlus’ in-house DetailMax Engine for improved clarity and detail.

OnePlus Ace 6 and Possible India Variant

Alongside the flagship, OnePlus is also preparing to launch the Ace 6 in China. Industry speculation suggests a rebranded version of the Ace 6 could debut in India as the OnePlus 15R, though the company has yet to officially confirm this.

FAQs

Q1.  What is special about the Sand Storm Edition of the OnePlus 15?

Answer. The Sand Storm Edition features a desert-inspired design with Micro-Arc Oxidation ceramic coating, making it 3.4x stronger than aluminium and 1.3x tougher than titanium, while offering a lightweight fibreglass back for comfort.

Q2. What chipset powers the OnePlus 15?

Answer. The OnePlus 15 is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, paired with an upgraded cooling system for sustained performance during gaming and multitasking.

Q3. What camera setup is expected on the OnePlus 15?

Answer. It’s rumoured to include a 50MP main sensor with OIS, an ultra-wide lens, and a 50MP Samsung JN5 periscope telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom, enhanced by the DetailMax Engine for clarity.

Meta has officially confirmed that WhatsApp is rolling out several new features including support for Live Photos on iOS and Motion Photos on Android. These updates, which have been gradually appearing for some users, are now being highlighted in a feature roundup from the company.

Live Photos and Motion Photos

WhatsApp now lets users share Live Photos (iOS) and Motion Photos (Android) that capture both movement and sound. When sent or received, these photos briefly animate, much like when browsing through the iOS photo album. A small Live Photo indicator appears in the top-left corner, and tapping it also plays the recorded audio.

The rollout for Live Photos support is still ongoing, as some iOS users report they can receive but not yet send them.

AI-powered Chat Themes

Users can now generate custom chat themes using Meta AI, offering more ways to personalise conversations. (Availability may vary.) WhatsApp explained, “Earlier this year we introduced chat themes as a way to customize your chats. You can now use the power of Meta AI to boost your creativity  and make custom chat themes of your own. (Meta AI features may not be available to all users.)”

New Sticker Packs

WhatsApp has introduced fresh sticker packs such as Fearless Bird and Vacation, giving users more expressive ways to communicate. Users can download sticker packs and use the characters to visualise in a fun how they are feeling without having to say anything.

Easier Group Search

Group names can sometimes be hard to recall. Now, by searching for a contact in the Chats tab, users can quickly see all groups they share with that person. “Now, just search for someone you know that’s in the group in your Chats tab, and it will display the groups you have in common,” WhatsApp writes.

Android Document Scanning

WhatsApp on Android now supports built-in document scanning, cropping, and sharing. It is a feature previously limited to the iPhone only.

AI-powered Video Call Backgrounds

Meta AI can generate unique backgrounds for video calls, photos, and videos directly within chats, letting users customise their virtual surroundings. Users will also be able to add AI backgrounds while taking photos and videos directly in chats.

Availability

These features are being rolled out gradually, which means availability may vary across regions and devices.

FAQs

Q1. What are Live Photos and Motion Photos on WhatsApp?

Answer. WhatsApp now supports Live Photos on iOS and Motion Photos on Android, allowing users to share animated images with sound that briefly play in chat.

Q2. How does Meta AI enhance WhatsApp chats?

Answer. Meta AI enables users to create custom chat themes and video call backgrounds, adding a layer of personalisation to conversations and virtual interactions.

Q3. What new WhatsApp tools are available for Android users?

Answer. Android users now get a built-in document scanner, AI-generated video call backgrounds, and improved group search by contact in the Chats tab.

Realme has quietly launched the Realme P3 Lite 4G through an online retailer in Poland. The device closely resembles the Realme C71 rather than the C75 4G, even though in certain markets the C75 5G is sold as the “Realme P3 Lite 5G.” While there is no clarity which model is being rebranded as P3 Lite 4G, here’s everything we know about the model based on a listing on a Polish retailer.

Realme P3 Lite 4G – Pricing and Availability (Poland)

To add more confusion, the Realme C75 4G (8/256GB) is also priced identically and features a 6.72-inch 1080p+ LCD with 90Hz refresh rate, a Helio G92 Max chipset, and 45W charging on its 6,000mAh battery.

In comparison, the Realme C71 supports up to 45W charging and comes with either a 6,000mAh or 6,300mAh battery depending on the market. According to the EU Energy Label, the P3 Lite can deliver nearly 66 hours of use on a single charge with durability rated for at least 1,000 charging cycles.

The phone has an IP54 rating for dust and splash resistance, measures 7.79mm in thickness, and weighs 196 grams.

Motorola, under Lenovo, has confirmed the launch of a new smartphone called the Moto X70 Air. The device is scheduled to debut in China by the end of October with its first teaser now live. Here’s what we know about the phone so far.

Moto X70 Air – Design and Features

The teaser highlights the Moto X70 Air’s slim and lightweight design along with an AI-driven user experience. The official poster shows the device’s right edge housing the power and volume buttons, while the back panel is expected to include at least two rear cameras. Specific technical details have not yet been disclosed by the company.

The timing of this announcement comes as the iPhone 17 Air has been making headlines for its ultra-thin body.

Apple’s latest slim offering is just 5.6mm thick, weighs 165 grams, and omits a SIM card slot to achieve the design. While Motorola has not revealed the Moto X70 Air’s dimensions, the teaser suggests a sleek build with a dual-camera setup on the rear.

TENAA Listing Details

In a separate development, a Motorola smartphone with model number XT2533-4 was recently spotted on TENAA in China. This listing revealed a 6.72-inch 1.5K LCD display, a 2.4GHz processor, up to 16GB RAM, and as much as 512GB of storage. It is also said to pack a 7,000mAh battery, a 32MP front camera, and a dual rear camera system consisting of 50MP + 8MP sensors.

However, this device weighs 210 grams and measures 8.7mm in thickness, which contrasts with the slim profile teased for the Moto X70 Air.

While some speculate that the TENAA listing could be linked to the Moto X70 Air, earlier leaks have suggested it may actually belong to the upcoming Moto G36 5G.

With teasers now live and leaks surfacing, more details about the Moto X70 Air are expected in the coming weeks ahead of its October-end launch.

FAQs

Q1. When is the Moto X70 Air expected to launch?

Answer. Motorola has confirmed that the Moto X70 Air will launch in China by the end of October, with teaser posters already live.

Q2. What are the key design features of the Moto X70 Air?

Answer. The Moto X70 Air will feature an ultra-thin and lightweight build, an AI-driven user experience, and a dual rear camera setup, as shown in official teasers.

Q3. Is the Moto X70 Air linked to the TENAA-listed Motorola device?

Answer. While a Motorola device with 7000mAh battery, 6.72″ LCD, and 50MP + 8MP cameras was spotted on TENAA, its thicker profile suggests it may belong to the Moto G36 5G, not the X70 Air.
